Journal Article
Tyson, J., Radford, P., Lambert, C., Till, R., Huwiler, S. G., Lovering, A. L., & Sockett, R. E. (2024). Prey killing without invasion by Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus defective for a MIDAS-family adhesin. Nature Communications, 15(1), Article 3078. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-47412-3

The bacterium Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus is a predator of other Gram-negative bacteria. The predator invades the prey’s periplasm and modifies the prey’s cell wall, forming a rounded killed prey, or bdelloplast, containing a live B. bacteriovorus. Re...
